Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony marks the completion of his compositional path. Alban Berg and Arnold Schönberg saw it as a bridge to a new musical era. The theme of its farewell remains mysterious to this day. Experience this last completed work by Mahler as well as the premiere of Andrea Scartazzini's prologue "Enigma", which is based on Mahler's language more than any other in the cycle. Harmony and tempo refer to the last adagissimo bars with which the symphony fades away. In "Enigma" the music becomes increasingly ethereal until it finally disappears completely.

Friday Concert No.4 Mahler-Scartazzini Cycle IX

Volkshaus Jena

Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini's great orchestral work is nearing completion. The ten movements, each of which is assigned to a symphony by Gustav Mahler and is connected to it in terms of both thought and content, tell of a highly philosophical journey of thought through a mythological world. These ten movements, each like its own, unique space, tell of the deepest states of human existence. In the entire span between death and life, between hopelessness and hope, the Swiss composer impresses with extremely differentiated atmospheres and his emotional and permeable music.
